Both anxiety disorder symptoms and the more severe panic attacks can occur suddenly and unexpectedly to anyone. Even the most confident person can suffer an attack in certain situations. It is even possible to have an attack and not recognise an anxiety disorder symptom. So how to make sure sure if I’m having an anxiety attack?

We are all familiar with anxiety as it is a perfectly normal and healthy emotion. We know it as our own body alerting us to an event or situation that we are not comfortable with. It is therefore a positive thing in that it prompts us to “lift our game” to meet the challenges of a situation. And, having successfully coped in spite of being anxious, we are that little bit stronger or more confident for the next time an event occurs that pushes us beyond our comfort zones.

Then there are a growing number of us that find ourselves suffering from sudden and severe anxiety attacks that embarrass and leave us unable to cope with common everyday social or work situations. These are horrid to experience, are most definitely not normal but are, thankfully, treatable.

It becomes important then, to be able to distinguish between normal anxiety and anxiety disorder symptoms. So how to make sure that what you have experienced is not normal healthy anxiety? The simple test is asking yourself whether the experience had an extremely unpleasant physical and emotional effect on you at the time and in any way seriously limited your every day activities since.

Anxiety attack or anxiety disorder symptoms may include dizziness, a dry throat, shortness of breath, tight chest, racing heart, hot flushes, overwhelming fear and a disconnection with reality. Experiencing several of these symptoms at the same time is an indication that you suffer from the more severe panic attacks.

The good news is that this is a condition that is not uncommon and that you can gradually eliminate the fears and again enjoy life to the fullest. Learn how to be sure you are having panic attack and free youself by a  simple step by step approach to taking back control of your life.
